TL;DR: This article presented a psychometric scale that assesses risk taking in various content domains: financial decisions, health/safety, recreational, ethical, and social decisions, and found that respondents' degree of risk taking was highly domain-specific, i.e. not consistently risk-averse or consistently riskseeking across all content domains.

TL;DR: A psychometric scale that assesses risk taking in five content domains: financial decisions (separately for investing versus gambling), health/safety, recreational, ethical, and social decisions is presented in this article.

TL;DR: Two experiments show that people's risk sensitivity becomes strongly proportional to the CV when they learn about choice alternatives like other animals, by experiential sampling over time.

TL;DR: In a meta-analysis of human risk preference, the superiority of the coefficient of variation over variance in predicting risk taking is not as strong as strong. as discussed by the authors showed that people's risk sensitivity becomes strongly proportional to the CV when they learn about choice alternatives like other animals, by experiential sampling over time.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of characteristics of the decision situation and the decision maker on decision processes and outcomes in the context of risky choice, and found that the content domain of a decision and/or the gender (or the interaction of both) of decision maker influenced decision mode usage and risk perception, behavior, and preference.
